I'll join in - my first ever group build.  Should be fun and will motivate me to start a 'on the shelf idea'.

Cheers

Put me down as a tentative maybe.  I always enjoy the GBs on this forum, so I'll probably join in just for the sheer joy of participation.  So far, all I've managed in the way of a diorama is a grass mat with a model plunked down in the middle of it.
Cheers,
Bud

I'll give it a try.  I have few things that would be fun to do.

I found this by chance in the stash and thought it might do for inspiration (on the basis: if there are no pictures it didn't really happen) and it is a delightful, but fairly old production: based on a James Dietz painting:







Beautiful moulding and still available. I'm not sure if my figure painting skills are up to this one....

Regards,

Marc

I don't do figures, nor have I ever done a diorama but I can still see an opportunity to participate, albeit with a very small Diorama which is nothing more then an enhanced and more elaborate display base. It's all about participating in the group effort with an individual contribution, and in this format everyone has something they could offer. I think it's a brilliant theme!
Cheers,
Lance

I am like Lance. I have been meaning to add figures to the Ago which I submitted to the Floatplane GB last year and have still not done so. I will build another model instead and this time I will add some figures…. and the base will be very simple indeed.

I'm in. It is the taking part that counts: not the winning.

Stephen.

Monty,
   "based on a James Dietz painting:"

     Great looking figure. I love Dietz's work, he really catches the atmosphere of his scenes. I have his "Final Analysis" Hanging above me as I type this, the only subject in my den without an aircraft featured. This plan of yours has a lot of great potential, I'll be following your progress with lots of interest and anticipation! :)
Cheers,
Lance

They do the other figure with the Lewis as well.... Search 'time machine miniatures' and you can find their site.

Des, I would like to take part in the GB.
But, I have almost ready model Fokker D-VII from WNW. It is presented here.
http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=4540.0
My Polish colleagues, when they saw my model, advised me not to install covers of the engine, because it looks very nice.
I decided to make a diorama before appeared here proposition of the GB. It will be my first diorama.
I already have some parts purchased, among other things, I have known here Aviattics figurines and WW1 German cart from fuel . Some things such as. ladders, I'm going to to do it myself.
Des I have a question, whether with almost finished model can take part in GB?

Adam.

Unless I missed reading , is there a time line figured yet ? This just might be the motivation I need for a WW 1 build and maybe base this on a figure this time round ...
